The History Of Pop Part 59 aka Only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Now 59 - later 2004 - the Golden Age continues, or....? JoJo, Three Of A Kind, V, Khia, Eric Prydz - we may well not see their like again. On paper this looks set to have a clear winner - but who knows the secret paths down which anygoodatall science will lead us?

Now 58 ended in a DRAW! - and no, no untickings were involved. "Hey Ya" and "Some Girls" fight it out down at the bottom of this poll. Kelis was one vote behind, and Girls Aloud one vote behind that. Very close.

A lot of "it'll do" tracks on this one I think.

What I'll be keeping my eye on

If "Hip To Hip" can't finish higher than "Can't Stand Me Now" then I will truly know there is no hope for the world.

wrong sizzasizzaz ballad :(

'Mary' is nice and pleasant and I ticked it. But a better choice of single would have been 'Return To Oz', the album closer, which is epic and tear-jerking and absolutely MASSIVE :(

Ouch, ouch. Ouch.

More love for "Radio" please!

Thunderbirds Are Go...

is the only Busted single I could imagine still listening to in this day/age.

The race for second place

Busted > Babycakes > Natasha B > Eric Prydz >> Fantastic Khia song given boring remix > Ice T et al >>> worst Kelis single.

That Bedingfield woman in full

'These Words' is a really good song, probably, but I can't stand that voice.

V

Out of all the popsters I met during my time at Island, V were my favourites. They were Absolute Sweethearts.

V >>>>>>>> McFly > Mark Owen > Heidi Sugababe > Kym Marsh > Charlie Busted > Keisha Sugababe > Matt Busted >>>>>>>>>>>>> Mutya

Not enough love for DEEP DISH either.

Can't Stand Me Now

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

This isn't actually as bad as I remember it being, possibly due to subsequent atrocities released by both parties. I still couldn't bring myself to tick it despite giving it 6/10 in the Square Table.

"Pump It Up" by Danzel

Has the makings of a good dumb euro-bdoosh-bdoosh record... and then the beat kicks in. Ick.

Everyone who didn't tick V should be banned. It's Xenomania with the most homoerotic boy band ever (even if the gay one turned out to be the one I least fancied) WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE.

Oh you're all as indie as Lex.
